Morning light slices through tropical air as a private vehicle pulls away from Siem Reap and heads toward the low, jungle-fringed stones of Angkor. The tour moves deliberately—Angkor Thom’s south gate arrives first, its stone faces watching as visitors pass beneath the causeway lined with gods and giants. The guide’s English is clear; stories of Jayavarman VII and the Khmer empire follow the path.
